It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.
A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.
We need to stand up together and speak up.

You're not kidding. Arraez with one of the stupidest - and I do not use that lightly - baserunning decisions I've ever seen from a major leaguer. The ENTIRE play is in front of him. He saw the RF get the ball and went anyway, costing them a run and ending the inning. Wow.

I've seen people either saying, Oh corny. Or, oh he's just running for President. And my thought is, AWESOME. Let the 2028 Dem Prez primary be about who can fight against Trump and for our democracy and our rights the most effectively and aggressively and let it begin today.
Newsom on ICE action outside his presser: "It's pretty sick & pathetic. It's everything you know about Trump's America & the authoritarian tendencies of the president. Wake up, America. You will not have a country if he rigs this election. You will a president running for a third term. Mark my word"

Peter Weir crafts an earnest & triumphant celebration of adolescent individuality from Tom Schulman's heartfelt Oscar-winning screenplay. It’s both a masterpiece of the Touchstone canon & one of Robin Williams' best performances. Even the most emotional moments come from a sincere place. Carpe diem!

The Founders feared *exactly* what Trump turned out to be. And yet the purported originalists turn a blind eye.
KBJ, in dissent, calls today's ruling "profoundly dangerous" and an "existential threat to the rule of law." She expresses her "deep disillusionment" with the court and suggests that the conservative supermajority continues to crown Trump a king above law. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
